Each power supply unit has a description of leads right at the terminals.
You can take a look at your current unit.
I found it more efficient at a comparable price:
Redrex DC 12V 20A Universal Reguliert Switching Power Supply
However, I'm still wondering why branded power supplies of similar dimensions have less power ...
Alright, I ordered the one you‘ve mentioned.
Mine doesn‘t say anything but I‘m guessing it‘s:
Brown - L
Blue - N
Yellow - GND
Black - COM(-V)
Red - +V
Thank you for the help so far! I‘ll post on this thread again asap after testing the PSU.
Thanks!!
Edit: just saw the picture, thanks

One amendment....
Concerning naming....
Not yellow, yellow-green
(yellow with green band).
and in this case not GND, but PE.

Well, that‘s what I meant.
Better safe than sorry.

Update: I replaced the PSU with the new one and it finally works! Really happy about it, thank you very much!
I’ve set everything up, everything works fine except for one thing. The filament doesn‘tgo trough the extruder smoothly, it goes smooth for a like 10sec and then it‘s doing a „thumping“ noise. Happens when printing and or when moving the extruder manually trough menu.. Any hotfixes for that?
Cheers!

Hi.
I'm very happy that your printer works as it should.
I think this requires verification of the settings.

After reading a few threads, the problem was the spring mechanism. Fixed it by adding a layer.
Thank you once again for your help! I can finally use my printer after so many weeks!!
